Regular check-ups can help to prevent long-term damage to your teeth
Scheduling regular dental examinations and hygiene visits helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy and gives your dentist the opportunity to spot any problems early which can potentially reduce the extent of further damage requiring dental treatment.
Denta Care Dentists offer check-ups including two x-rays along with the opportunity to talk through any findings, treatment options, costs, timeframes, and expected outcomes. We believe in open, clear conversations so you can make informed decisions — with no pressure and no surprises.
Dental hygiene is very important - we offer scale and polishes to help improve your gum health, which in turn can prevent teeth becoming loose, minimise bad breath and stop bleeding gums.
Restorative work including fillings and crowns
If you do need dental work, then the dentists at Denta Care Dentists offer treatment from fillings to more extensive procedures. We provide a complete denture service including full dentures and partial dentures.
Fillings: Denta Care Dentists use white fillings which match your tooth colour and range from small fillings to building up larger portions of teeth.
Crowns: If your tooth is weakened or damaged extensively, crowns can be used to partially or fully encase the tooth.
Veneers: Veneers are a thin layer of restorative material which is bonded to your tooth's surface to provide extra protection or to improve the look of your teeth
Dentures: Denta Care Dentists provide and fit partial dentures on site and can also advise you of the best options should you need a full set of dentures to replace your own teeth. The cost of dentures varies depending on the type of dentures required.
Brighten your smile with cosmetic dental services
If you aren't confident of your smile because your teeth are discoloured or you are missing a few teeth and have gaps, then the friendly team at Denta Care Dentists can restore your smile to health and symmetry with safe and affordable cosmetic dentistry treatment.
Cosmetic white fillings: Old discoloured and unsightly fillings can be replaced by white fillings to match the shade of your tooth to enhance your smile.
Teeth whitening: Professional whitening treatments available in-clinic, along with take-home kits for ongoing results.
Bridges: If you have gaps in your smile due to missing teeth, talk to Denta Care Dentists about bridges which can be fabricated to fill in the gap.
Tooth jewellery: Add a subtle, cosmetic touch with professionally bonded tooth jewellery.
Extractions and more extensive treatments
While extractions are sometimes necessary, they are always a last resort. Our approach is conservative — we will explore all options with you first and only proceed when it’s the best outcome for your health.
General tooth extractions
Teeth need to be extracted for many different reasons including extensive decay or the need to remove teeth to allow braces or dentures to be fitted.
Wisdom teeth extraction
Many people live with wisdom teeth with no issues, but if they are causing you problems, our team can arrange to extract some or all of your wisdom teeth.
Root canal treatment
If a tooth has an infected nerve then root canal treatment can be carried out to preserve the tooth. This procedure is normally carried out in several appointments and includes fillings.
Trusted advice from experienced dentists
If you need extensive dental treatment, we will also aim to discuss the options with you before we go ahead with any work. At Denta Care Dentists, there is no one size fits all policy. Our treatment is tailored to suit your specific needs. If needs be we will refer you to a specialist but with many years experience including emergency work, our dentists are well equipped to carry out many procedures at our surgery.
Denta Care Dentists accept WINZ and ACC dental cases so if you need to be seen under one of these schemes give us a call to make an appointment. Our surgery also offers emergency dentist appointments, so don't let toothache cause you a problem - get it seen to sooner rather than later.

At your first visit, we take the time to understand your dental history, any concerns you have, and what you want to achieve. We’ll carry out a thorough examination, usually with x-rays, and then talk you through any findings. You’ll be given clear options, costs, timeframes, and expected outcomes so you can decide what’s right for you — with no pressure.
Most patients benefit from a check-up every 6–12 months, but this can vary depending on your oral health. Regular visits allow us to identify issues early, often preventing more complex and costly treatment later. We’ll recommend a schedule that suits your individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Yes — our approach is conservative and focused on long-term outcomes. Wherever possible, we aim to preserve your natural teeth rather than move straight to more invasive treatments. If treatment is needed, we’ll explain all available options so you can make an informed decision.
A dental emergency includes severe toothache, swelling, infection, trauma (such as a knocked or broken tooth), or anything causing significant pain or discomfort. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to contact us — we keep emergency appointment slots available each day and will do our best to see you as soon as possible.
Absolutely. We believe there should be no surprises when it comes to your dental care. Before starting any treatment, we’ll clearly explain your options, costs, timeframes, and likely outcomes so you can make the decision that feels right for you.
